Dimples are often seen as a sign of charm and playfulness, but not everyone is born with them. Dimpleplasty is a quick and minimally invasive procedure that creates natural-looking dimples through a small incision inside the cheek. Whether you're looking to enhance your smile or add a subtle detail to your expression, dimple creation brings a youthful and attractive touch to your facial features.

Dimple creation involves a minor surgical procedure in which an internal stitch is passed to attach the skin of the cheek to underlying tissue.
The surgery usually takes about half an hour.
The surgery is performed through a small incision inside the mouth. There is no visible external scarring.
Most of our patients return to work within 2-4 days. The dimple will usually settle to become more natural over the first two weeks.
